[The following is a paid advertisement.]

AARP IL is fighting to ensure nursing home residents receive safe and high-quality care by emphasizing the urgent need for reform.
Nursing home residents and staff have experienced devastating conditions during the Covid-19 pandemic, and an unacceptable number have lost their lives to the disease.

This session, Illinois lawmakers have the opportunity to improve care and conditions for nursing home residents.

Join AARP Illinois as we urge lawmakers to make sure legislation under negotiation:

• Prioritizes accountability, quality of care for residents, and workforce development in nursing homes.
• Addresses racial inequities that contribute to health disparities among nursing home residents enrolled in Medicaid.
• Ends the practice of overcrowding rooms with three and more residents.
• Requires greater transparency of nursing home ownership and revenue.
• Ties funding/rates/incentives to direct resident care and demonstrable and sustained nursing home quality outcomes and performance.
• Ensures incentives result in improved outcomes for resident care and sustainable workforce development.

SENIORS DESERVE BETTER. Now more than ever, it’s time to hold Illinois nursing homes accountable for providing high-quality care and safe environments for our loved ones. Urge state lawmakers to vote YES on the HFS Compromise Nursing Home Rate Reform.
